However, because there are both device properties and bus properties

properties, not sure that's appropriate. Gerd?
IMHO they must not clash. This isn't enforced in any way though.
If they must not clash, then it makes no sense to invent a fancy prefix
to cope with clashes, I think.
I've added the bus- and dev- prefixes to make clear where the properties
come from (BusInfo or DeviceInfo) for informational purposes, not to
avoid clashes. We could just drop that ...
Alternatively, we could declare devices overriding properties inherited
from the bus a feature.
No, this is just asking for trouble IMHO.
cheers,
